Patients treated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) agonist manifest favorable metabolic profiles associated with increased plasma adiponectin (APN). However, whether increased APN production as a result of PPAR-γ agonist treatment is an epiphenomenon or is causatively related to PPAR-γ’s cardioprotective actions remains completely unknown. To determine the role of APN in rosiglitazone (RSG) cardioprotection against ischemic heart injury. Adult male wild type (WT) and APN knockdown/knockout (APN+/− and APN−/−) mice were treated with vehicle or rosiglitazone (RSG, 20 mg/kg/day), and subjected to coronary artery ligation 3 days after beginning treatment. In WT mice, RSG (7 days) significantly increased adipocyte APN expression, elevated plasma APN levels (2.6-fold), reduced infarct size (17% reduction), decreased apoptosis (0.23±0.02% vs. 0.47±0.04% TUNEL positive in remote non-ischemia area), attenuated oxidative stress (48.5% reduction), and improved cardiac function (P<0.01). RSG-induced APN production and cardioprotection were significantly blunted (P<0.05 vs. WT) in APN+/−, and completely lost in APN−/− (P>0.05 vs. vehicle-treated APN−/− mice). Moreover, treatment with RSG for up to 14 days significantly improved the post-ischemic survival rate of WT mice (P<0.05 vs. vehicle group), but not APN knockdown/knockout mice. PPAR-γ agonists’ cardioprotective effects are critically dependent on its APN stimulatory action, suggesting that under pathologic conditions where APN expression is impaired (such as advanced type-2 diabetes), the harmful cardiovascular effects of PPAR-γ agonists may outweigh its cardioprotective benefits.
